It is a fun day though. And it's not pessimism, it's realism, as my predictions were pretty accurate you just proved my point. in essence, you try to prove your love for the school by crushing other homerooms.

Yes, there's definitely a spirit of fun in that, but come on, man, that's mostly pessimism if anything. I would also like to argue that I've never felt more connected to my school than on Spirit Day. I don't know the people in my homeroom very well, and they don't know me very well, but we're practically a family on Spirit Day. There is more to it than just making sure the other grades crumble underneath your feet, there is definitely love in there. I trashtalk because I want to see the other grades attempt to upstage my grade. I want to see how rough it'll get without feelings getting hurt. I want to walk out of this high school knowing the grades below me will do even better next year and will continue to grow closer to their peers. Not to throw away your theory, but I'm kind of throwing away your theory. Until 2013 can do better than feebly wave a ruler-and-tape flag around, I will continue to do my best to "destroy" them on Spirit Day so they know how to be loud and proud when they're my age.

Jeez, have fun with something. It will be fun if you have a good attitude. Except for the fact that your grade is a team and homerooms are like representatives. Jeez, have fun with something.
